1. Be God
By God
You bring out the best in me
Which is nothing less than Your holiness
Manifest Your power in me
And I’ll be a vessel of Your glory
I lay me down, let it rise up in my soul
I’m falling down, so You pick me up again
God tear it down, the walls
That the enemy built around me
Send Your spirit down
Where the spirit is, there is freedom
Oh God, without You I can do nothing
By God, I can do all things
It should’ve been my hands
It should’ve been my cross
It should’ve been my nails
That pierced Your skin
So I deny myself
And I take up my cross
To follow you
Oh, yeah
It’s not about me
For by grace, I was saved
By God
And I am not mine
I was bought with a price
By God
And I will live by
Every word from His mouth
By God
He won’t back down
Push and you get pushed back
By God
I open up my mouth
Fill it up with the word of God
When I reach out my hand
Lord may it have your healing
Lord, bring it down
Release your power once again
Anoint our hands to do the works
That you once did
Lord, our desire is for
The spiritual gifts of God
Let the children prophesy
Your wonderful works, Lord
Oh God, without You I can do nothing
By God, I can do all things
It should’ve been my hands
It should’ve been my cross
It should’ve been my nails
That pierced Your skin
So I deny myself
And I take up my cross
To follow you
Oh, yeah
It’s not about me
For by grace, I was saved
By God
And I am not mine
I was bought with a price
By God
And I will live by
Every word from His mouth
By God
He won’t back down
Push and you get pushed back
By God
It should’ve been my hands
It should’ve been my cross
It should’ve been my nails
That pierced Your skin
So I deny myself
And I take up my cross
And follow you (2x)
Oh, yeah
It’s not about me
For by grace, I was saved
By God
And I am not mine
I was bought with a price
By God
And I will live by
Every word from His mouth
By God
He won’t back down
Push and you get pushed back
By God
By God
2. Not Rock Stars
Servants of the Most High
I am just a man with as many problems
As anyone who has lived
And I have faced temptations
Some I pass and some I fail
I know what it's like to be on the mountain
And in the deep abyss
And I know what it's like
To be rescued from the stronghold of hell
When I have not humbled myself
God has humbled me
And I'm so far from knowing it all
Cause He's still teaching me
But I want to share the love He gave
So we all could be not of this world
Not of this world
Servants of the Most High, not rock stars
New creatures in Christ, not rock stars (2x)
We are meant to be examples
And not idols to be praised
We are just one of the many parts
Of the body of God
We're not here for our own glory
We're not here to steal from you
But our prayer from our heart
Is that you'll find God and see the truth
There is something greater
Than anything that money can buy
The privilege and the honor
To preach the gospel of Jesus Christ
And we want to share the love He gave
So we all could be not of this world
Not of this world
Servants of the Most High, not rock stars
New creatures in Christ, not rock stars (2x)
Servants of the Most High, not rock stars
New creatures in Christ, not rock stars (2x)
3. God Of Elijah
Bring on the show down
How long will you waver between two opinions
If the Lord is God then follow Him
But if Baal is god then follow him
There are 450 prophets of Baal and just one of me
So it should be no problem to get his attention
And show everyone here today
That if he's the real god
He'll have to send fire down
So they began to shout, run around, cut themselves
Baal made no reply, so Elijah cried
Maybe he's sleeping, or busy or traveling
Or using the bathroom, or deeply thinking
God of Elijah, send your fire
Let it burn up inside me, melt me down (2x)
God of Elijah
So Elijah took twelve stones
Representing the twelve tribes
And built an altar of sacrifice
And dug up a trench and cut up a bull
And placed it on the wood
And poured four jars of water all around
He said do it again and then do it a third
Until the whole sacrifice had been soaked down
Water rolled out of the trenches, and Elijah prayed
Lord God of Israel let it be known today
That You are God and I pray You answer
And turn their hearts back to You again
Let the fire fall and burn it all
Let it rain down
God of Elijah, send your fire
Let it burn up inside me, melt me down (2x)
God of Elijah, God of Elijah
Lord God of Israel let it be known today
That You are God and I pray You answer
And turn our hearts back to You again
Let the fire fall, burn it all
Let it rain down
God of Elijah, send your fire
Let it burn up inside me, melt me down (2x)
God of Elijah, God of Elijah
4. Knocked Down
I know I'm not the only one
Who ever sins and makes mistakes
But it seems like I'm the only one
Who says I'm sorry forgive me
What is it about those words
That make it foreign to your mouth
I guess sometimes it's just too hard
To love your neighbor as yourself
Lord can You help me
I've been knocked down by the words of a friend
Give me the power to forgive
And love my neighbor as myself
You've been through what I've been through
You know the kiss of a friend
You proved to me on the cross
That You loved me as Yourself
You know that I know
There is no freedom when we speak
There's something in between us
That makes us both act differently
You try to act like nothing's wrong
That the problem will just handle itself
God screams don't let the sun go down
Before you love your neighbor as yourself
Lord can You help me
I've been knocked down by the words of a friend
Give me the power to forgive
And love my neighbor as myself
You've been through what I've been through
You know the kiss of a friend
You proved to me on the cross
That You loved me as Yourself
I gotta get my life in line with you
And remove the plank from my eye
Gotta see with the eyes of love you give
So I'll love my neighbor as myself (2x)
Lord can You help me
I've been knocked down by the words of a friend
Give me the power to forgive
So I love my neighbor as myself
I gotta get my life in line with you
And remove the plank from my eye
Gotta see with the eyes of love you give
So I'll love my neighbor as myself (2x)
5. Blow The House Down
Parched and dry and lonely
My eyes are on me only
I forgot what You had told me
I built my house upon the sand
And I heard Your voice so clear
A soft whisper in my ear
To preach the Word of God
So all the lost could hear
But I am so scared
I'm afraid that I will fail
I follow my own path
And set my feet upon the sand
I worked so hard to build this house
I built it up with my two hands
I worked my way up to the top
So I could be the best man
So what if my life is just a lie
I am just trying to provide
For me and mostly just myself
And that's how I'll live until I die
So let the wind come
So let the rain come
And blow the house down
With a foundation of sand (2x)
I'm so blessed and happy
For I know the Lord has called me
I remember the Words He told me
I built my house upon the Rock
And I hear You cry out love
To change my heart and soul
Peace I cannot understand
When I cry out to my Lord
Just to hear Your voice
And know You're guiding me
Never stop speaking to me
Let me know Your every command
You worked so hard to build this house
Built it up with Your two hands
I worked my way onto my face
Because I am a thankful man
So what if somehow I have to die
I know my life is not a lie
Cause You have my every breath
And I know this house ain't coming down
So let the wind come
So let the rain come
You can't blow the house down
With a foundation of God (2x)
You can’t blow the house down (2x)
So let the wind come
So let the rain come
You can't blow the house down
With a foundation of God
You worked so hard to build this house
Built it up with Your two hands
I worked my way onto my face
Because I am a thankful man
So what if somehow I have to die
I know my life is not a lie
Cause You have my every breath
And I know this house ain't coming down
So let the wind come
So let the rain come
You can't blow the house down
With a foundation of God (2x)
6. Coal
If I trust myself, and in my strength
I'll be in the desert with nothing to drink
I'll live in the wilderness, so far and so alone
And I won't help myself, so hot and yet so cold
I choose not to lean on my own understanding
I acknowledge You in my ways and You direct me
I'll be like a tree by the river
When I put my trust in You
I'll be like a coal in the fire
When I put my hope in You
If my heart departs and I turn away
Then I will be cursed from the absence of my faith Lord without your help I'm drowning in the sea
And I won't help myself, I can't move and I can't breathe
I choose not to lean on my own understanding
I acknowledge You in my ways and You direct me
I'll be like a tree by the river
When I put my trust in You
I'll be like a coal in the fire
When I put my hope in You
I choose not to lean on my own understanding
I acknowledge You in my ways and You direct me
I'll be like a tree by the river
When I put my trust in You
I'll be like a coal in the fire
When I put my hope in You
7. Can't Breath
As I lie here thinking
Can't think of one good reason
For what I've done to you
I've seen both sides
I know the pain of being alone
And I have to confess this to you
That I can't move and I can't breathe
I can't love and I can't speak
I can't trust and I can't run
I can't wake and I can't sleep
I can't live my life without you
You hear my voice cry
Take my heart
And hold it in your arms
I give you my life
Set in the potter's hands
Make it what you want
Cause I can't move and I can't breathe
I can't love and I can't speak
I can't trust and I can't run
I can't wake and I can't sleep
I can't live my life without you
I can't feel and I can't know
I can't think and I can't show
I can't give and I can't touch
I can't sink or rise above
I can't live my life without you
Cause I can't move and I can't breathe
I can't love and I can't speak
I can't trust and I can't run
I can't wake and I can't sleep
I can't live my life without you, You
I can't feel and I can't know
I can't think and I can't show
I can't give and I can't touch
I can't sink or rise above
I can't live my life without you
Can't live without You (3x)
8. Salt Lamp
I don't want to lose my taste
My light has gone
There's a great big city
Sitting on the hill
That will not be hidden
And the itty bitty light
Sitting in the dark
Is on it's lamp stand
I don't ever want to lose your call
Or for my city to ever fall
I want my light to always know
That it's not sitting underneath the bowl
I know the greatest man
I know my biggest fan
I know the best friend
I know the Great I Am
I know Him
Gonna let my light shine (2x)
Please don't let me be
Open my eyes to see
The salt that has lost its flavor
Is salty no more
And the paint that has no color
Is thrown out the door
I don't ever want to lose your call
Or for my city to ever fall
I want my light to always know
That it's not sitting underneath the bowl
I know the greatest man
I know my biggest fan
I know the best friend
I know the Great I Am
I know Him
Gonna let my light shine (2x)
There's a great big city
Sitting on the hill
That will not be hidden
And the itty bitty light
Sitting in the dark
Is on it's lamp stand
I don't ever want to lose your call
Or for my city to ever fall
I want my light to always know
That it's not sitting underneath the bowl
I know the greatest man
I know my biggest fan
I know the best friend
I know the Great I Am
I know Him
Gonna let my light shine (2x)
9. You Are Here
You are to me (you are to me), a light to see
You came to me, and set me free
You see me now, not how I was
I’m washed and clean, under the blood
You sit down
On your throne in heaven
And you look down
At the world You died to save from hell
So that we could be with You forever
Where there’ll be no dying
Will you use me
To tell them of Your love, Holy father
Draw them in by your spirit
Will you change us, and set us on course
For revival
To set this world on fire
You are holy (4x)
You are to me (you are to me), my greatest dream
A love for life, makes me complete
You’re beautiful, no one like you Lord
The only way, the only truth
So, You sit down
On your throne in heaven
And you look down
At the world You died to save from hell
So that we could be with You forever
Where there’ll be no dying
Will you use me
To tell them of Your love, Holy father
Draw them in by your spirit
Will you change us, and set us on course
For revival
To set this world on fire
You are holy (4x)
You sit down
On your throne in heaven
And you look down
At the world You died to save from hell
So that we could be with You forever
Where there’ll be no dying
You sit down
On your throne in heaven
And you look down
At the world You died to save from hell
So that we could be with You forever
Where there’ll be no dying
Will you use me
To tell them of Your love, Holy father
Draw them in by your spirit
Will you change us, and set us on course
For revival
To set this world on fire
You are holy (4x)
10. Thousand Things
As the sun comes up, Lord I see You
As the wind blows on my face, Lord I feel You (2x)
Sometimes I don't know what to say
When my heart wants to praise
And I have concluded of You
That I barely know anything about You at all
Cause Lord if You showed me a thousand things
Brand new about You everyday
I still would never see the fullness of Your glory
Lord if You gave me a thousand years
To try and count up all the ways
That You have shown to me
That You are just not enough
You are too much
As the river flows, Lord I hear You
As the rain falls on face, Lord I feel You (2x)
Sometimes I don't know what to say
When my heart wants to praise
And I have concluded of You
That I barely know anything about You at all
Cause Lord if You showed me a thousand things
Brand new about You everyday
I still would never see the fullness of Your glory
Lord if You gave me a thousand years
To try and count up all the ways
That You have shown to me
That You are just not enough
You are too much
I know You know me
Better than I know myself
But I want to know You
Even though I know my mind
Can't hold it all
Cause Lord if You showed me a thousand things
Brand new about You everyday
I still would never see the fullness of Your glory
Lord if You gave me a thousand years
To try and count up all the ways
That You have shown to me
That You are just not enough
You are too much
11. 99
I have come to worship the Lord of Lords
In this place it's Your face I will adore
Everyday God I need You more and more
So I am here to seek You out Lord
I have come to praise the King of Kings
Lift up my hands and shout and sing
I can't express all the power that it brings
When I lift my life up to the King
If it's Your will, I'll live till I'm 99
If it's Your will, You can take my life tonight
Until then I'll praise You (2x)
Lord I ask that You shine Your light of life
That You manifest Your power and Your might
Your mercy changes the wrongs to right
As I sing Your praise throughout the night
So I pray to the God who never dies
Through His foolishness He confounds the wise
He speaks the truth and never lies
And I believe the promise of Your coming
If it's Your will, I'll live till I'm 99
If it's Your will, You can take my life tonight
Until then I'll praise You (2x)
If it's Your will, I'll live till I'm 99
If it's Your will, You can take my life tonight
Until then I'll praise You (2x)
12. Whiny Britches
You breathe right through me
I act like I don't care
Wondering if everything I do
Will make you stop and stare
If only your eyes could see me
A pity I don't get my way
We need to be thankful
For living another day
Why can't I be?
Feel sorry for me
I'm accident prone
Just leave me alone
There's a lazy man that sits in the house
With his head propped back and his feet kicked out
I lay around and whine all the night
While I'm letting my life just pass me by
Lord forgive the way that I am
And I need You to help to stand
Help me up and make me be strong
And I will praise You all life long
Excuse me for living
I don't mean to complain
I know that you don't have anything
Quite like my pain
You see me driving
I'm riding in my car
You know that you can't see
Because it don't go that far
Why can't I be?
Feel sorry for me
I'm accident prone
Just leave me alone
There's a lazy man that sits in the house
With his head propped back and his feet kicked out
I lay around and whine all the night
While I'm letting my life just pass me by
Lord forgive the way that I am
And I need You to help to stand
Help me up and make me be strong
And I will praise You all life long
I want, I need (2x)
I want to be with You
I need to talk with You
I want to kiss Your face
I need to be embraced (2x)
Why can't I be?
Feel sorry for me
I'm accident prone
Just leave me alone
There's a lazy man that sits in the house
With his head propped back and his feet kicked out
I lay around and whine all the night
While I'm letting my life just pass me by
Lord forgive the way that I am
And I need You to help to stand
Help me up and make me be strong
And I will praise You all life long
13. You Rock My Socks Off
You have proved in every way
Your reality everyday
And there's no way to explain
All the ways that You love me
And I will never forget
I will never regret
The day that we met
And you saved my soul from death
So I exalt You
Lay my life before You
Lift my hands to praise You
Take this time to thank You
Through it all You have never left me
You have been faithful to forgive me
Through it all You have never left me
You never leave me
You rock my socks off (2x)
As I look at yesterday
I can see You there next to me
And through the good times and through the bad
Everything has worked for my good
And I will never forget
I will never regret
The day that we met
And you saved my soul from death
So I exalt You
Lay my life before You
Lift my hands to praise You
Take this time to thank You
Through it all You have never left me
You have been faithful to forgive me
Through it all You have never left me
You never leave me
You rock my socks off
So I exalt You
Lay my life before You
Lift my hands to praise You
Take this time to thank You
Through it all You have never left me
You have been faithful to forgive me
Through it all You have never left me
You never leave me
You rock my socks off (4x)
14. Hate Yor Guts
I am the fear who doesn't cower
Seeking whom I may devour
Seeking out a girl or a boy
To steal and kill and destroy
Do you even know my name?
You're so pathetic and lame
And before this day is through
I know I'll get to you
I hate you, I hate you
You can't hide from me
And He can't help you
I am and I have been and
I'll always be your enemy
I am your dream come true
Your nightmare hanging in a tree
Your suicide, your wasted life
Your lust for flesh all belongs to me
I hate your guts, you little punk
Don't come around here selling your junk
I know one who's bigger than all your fright
A weenie dog has more bite
You're a maggot, a pain in the neck
A little scratch upon my back
And I laugh at the day when you burn in hell
Forever in your jail
I hate you, I hate you
You can't get to me
He's already saved me
You don't deserve and you won't get
No glory in this song
All power, glory, blessing and honor
Belongs to our God
We lift you up, we magnify
We thank you Lord for giving us life
You don't deserve and you won't get
No glory in this song
All power, glory, blessing and honor
Belongs to our God
We lift you up, we magnify
We thank you Lord for giving us life
15. Whether They Like It Or Not
Here we are, You know what we're about
You don't have much to figure out
Not of this world but it's where we dwell
And we don't want to see people go to hell
The time has come
Gotta get it right
He just might come tonight
He knows who we are
He's numbered our hair
And we act like we don't even care
Gotta lift Him up because He is God
And stop meandering with this rock façade
I gotta love with all that I got
And we're gonna praise Him like it or not
I am, I am not
I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus (2x)
I am not ashamed (2x)
Oh, come on
We're gonna preach it
Cause it's the power
For salvation
Whether they like it
Whether they like it
Gotta be bold and speak His name
For the love and not for the fame
He sees our life He's numbered our days
It won't be long before we're caught away
There's so many people that might die today
That you know that you had the chance to say
That Jesus loves them, He'll forgive them
And give them a life that they never had
I am, I am not
I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus (2x)
I am not ashamed (2x)
Oh, come on
We're gonna preach it
Cause it's the power
For salvation
Whether they like it
Whether they like it or not (2x)
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I am not ashamed (2x)
Oh, come on
We're gonna preach it
Cause it's the power
For salvation
Whether they like it
Whether they like it or not (2x)

16. Not Since Breakfast
After forty times of hitting snooze
I slip on the shirt and grab my shoes
I head to work to pay my dues
Just another week of the same old stuff
Work my fingers all the way to the bone
I'm polite to customers on the phone
My body's working but my mind is gone
I just can't wait to get home
And shut the door grab a praise cd and turn it up
Take the phone off the hook and turn the light off
Lay down lay my head back and clear my thoughts
Hey God it's me
I've been waiting for this time all day long
So that we could be all alone
To worship You with my heart, my soul, and my mind
And leave it all behind
Separate all my laundry clothes
Repaired the hole in the vacuum hose
Wiped the grime off the toilet bowl
Gotta do the dishes before I mow
Then do three sets of eight on chest
Cause I gotta keep my shape in check
Everything else I do will have to wait
Cause I got a very important date
Shut the door grab a praise cd and turn it up
Take the phone off the hook and turn the light off
Lay down lay my head back and clear my thoughts
Hey God it's me
I've been waiting for this time all day long
So that we could be all alone
To worship You with my heart, my soul, and my mind
And leave it all behind
I've been waiting for this time all day long
So that we could be all alone
To worship You with my heart, my soul, and my mind
And leave it all behind
I've been waiting for this time all day long
(leave it all behind)
So that we could be all alone
(leave it all behind)
To worship You with my heart, my soul, and my mind
(leave it all behind)
And leave it all behind
17. Sick And Tired Of Being And Tired
Through my haste, impatience waits
The time has come, I hesitate
Feel so dry, I'm dead inside
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
So I wake up and I feel that there is nothing real
I haven't heard Your voice in so long
And I know this drought is probably not Your fault
I'm so weak and thirsty
On my knees I need You
I did not mean to leave You
All my heart receives You
It was me it's not You
Restore me, strengthen me
I'm sick and tired, of sick and weak
I decrease, You increase
Heal me of this disease
My heart is thin, sin creeps in
I know You see the pride in me
My mind is gone, I can not think
I have not prayed for weeks and weeks
So I wake up and I feel that there is nothing real
I haven't heard Your voice in so long
And I know this drought is probably not Your fault
I'm so weak and thirsty
On my knees I need You
I did not mean to leave You
All my heart receives You
It was me it's not You
Restore me, strengthen me
I'm sick and tired, of sick and weak
I decrease, You increase
Heal me of this disease
On my knees I need You
I did not mean to leave You
All my heart receives You
It was me it's not You
Restore me, strengthen me
I'm sick and tired, of sick and weak
I decrease, You increase
Heal me of this disease
18. But Wait There's More
If I'm wanting to eat a steak
Then I won't go eat Chinese buffet
And if I want an Italian feast
Then I won't go to a Mexican place
And if I'm wanting to drive a Honda
I won't go buy a Chevrolet
And if it comes in black and white
Then I won't go try and make it gray
What you got on the outside
Is coming in on the inside
What you got on the inside
Is coming out on the outside
Who you are affects what you do
Who you are affects what you do
Well you gotta be who you are
And don't be what you're not
If you want to be of the world
Well then you can't be of God (2x)
And if it makes your drummer sick
Then you don't eat at a pizza buffet
And if you want to eat grilled cod
Then you don't order a fish fillet
You don't go to a mechanic
When something's wrong with your back
And if you have a little girl
Then you don't go name her Jack
What you got on the outside
Is coming in on the inside
What you got on the inside
Is coming out on the outside
Who you are affects what you do
Who you are affects what you do
Well you gotta be who you are
And don't be what you're not
If you want to be of the world
Well then you can't be of God (2x)
What you got on the outside
Is coming in on the inside
What you got on the inside
Is coming out on the outside
Who you are affects what you do
Who you are affects what you do
Well you gotta be who you are
And don't be what you're not
If you want to be of the world
Well then you can't be of God (2x)
19. Rich Man
Oh God, I've done it again
You stare me in the eyes
And I look away
You come around my house
And I'm not home
And If I had a dollar
For every time I sinned against You
Well I'd be a rich man
Why are You still here
when I told You to leave?
Why do the oceans
Never get past my knees?
You lift me out of the water
Every time I loose away from You
You made me a rich man
And If I had a dollar
For every time I sinned against You
Well I'd be a rich man
You lift me out of the water
Every time I loose away from You
You made me a rich man
